1。.有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志(用not so mush... as)。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说,如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人,他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是(用no more than)一个失败者。
很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它,你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

2。生活的乐趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.
We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.
中文翻译:
生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。
直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。

富有哲理的英语小短文如下:
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future”
~ John F. Kennedy
The one constant thing in our life is change. We cannot avoid it and the more we resist change the tougher our life becomes. Trust me, I know this because I was very skilled at deflecting change in my life.
We are surrounded by change and it is the one thing that has the most dramatic impact on our lives. Change has the ability to catch up with you at some point in your life. There is no avoiding it because it will find you, challenge you, and force you to reconsider how you live your life.
Change can come into our lives as a result of a crisis, as a result of choice or by chance. In either situation we are all faced with having to make a choice – do we make the change or not? I believe it is always better to make changes in your life when you choose to rather than being forced to.
We however cannot avoid the unexpected events (crisis) in our lives because it is these events that challenge our complacency in life. What we can control when we are experiencing these challenging events, is how we choose to respond to them. It is our power of choice that enables us to activate positive change in our lives.

1The Dog and the Shadow)It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
一只狗嘴里衔着一块肉,走过一条河上面的桥,看见他自己在水里的影子,以为是另一只狗,那时狗衔着的肉,比他自己的还要大一倍。因此他仍掉自己的那一块,狠狠地扑向那只狗,想夺到那一块较大的肉。结果两头都落了空,因为他想要抓取在水中的那一块,只不过是一个影子,而原来的那一块,也被水冲走了。
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
谨记,切莫因追逐幻影而丢失已有的东西。

关于英语哲理小短文加翻译:停止Just Quit
Quit making excuses! Making excuses or blaming others for any situation in your life is nothing more than playing the victim.
停止编造借口!无论生活中发生何种情况,编造借口或责怪他人无非是一种假扮受害者的行为。
Take responsibility! Make your life decisions, and if you don?t, then it?s your fault. You are a spiritual being in a physical body, and your spirit should run your life. Take it back! Make today the day you quit playing the victim by making excuses and blaming others for what happens to you.
承担起责任!你应自己做决定,如果没有,那么这是你的失误。你的思想存在于你的身体里,而你的思想左右你的生活。取回你的思想!从今天开始,当面对发生在你身上的事时,停止编造借口或责怪他人。
Quit procrastinating! Cancer is not the most deadly killer; procrastination is. It kills dreams. It kills your future. Never use the phraseI?ll try?. There is no such thing as trying. Pay attention when others use this phrase: ninety-nine percent of the time they do nothing. The words are just an easy way to comfort oneself.
不要拖延!癌症并非最可怕的杀手,拖延才是。它扼杀梦想;它断送未来。绝不说?我试试!?这样的话,并没有尝试一说。当其他人这么说时你应注意到,99%的可能是他们并未尝试。这些词不过是种简单的自我安慰。
Quit thinking self-defeating thoughts! Quit thinking that you can?t do what you want to do. It?s not what you are that?s holding you back; it?s what you think you are. You were given all the equipment you need to accomplish anything you desire. Use that power today.
拒绝那些会让你受到打击的想法!不要认为你无法完成你想做的事。让你退却的不是你的现状如何,而是你怎样评价自己。你具备那些能够使你达成梦想的条件,从今天起,让它们发挥作用。
As for bad habits: just quit! Take the challenge. Pick one, and quit it this week. Next week pick another, and so on. Improve your life by being aquitter? now.
戒掉不良习惯!接受这项挑战。选一个坏习惯,从这个星期开始,戒掉它!下周开始另一个,以此类推。做一个?终结者?,让你的生活越来越好。
关于英语哲理小短文加翻译:决定过你的理想生活What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?
你最理想的一天生活是怎样的?你知道你想怎样度过接下来的五天、五周、五个月甚至五年吗?你度过的最后一个美好的一天是什么时候?下一个美好的一天又将何时到来?
The best day of our lives is today. The past is no longer here. We cannot enjoy it any longer. To dwell on the past is to waste the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time that will not come because what we have is only today. When tomorrow comes, it will not be tomorrow any more; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you know how to enjoy your today. If you are to live thirty more years, you are going to experience 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your notice is a day cut off from your life. Your life is a day shorter every new day.
在我们的生活中,今天是最美好的。过去已经消逝,我们无法再享受它。沉溺于过去只会糟蹋了享受现在的机会。未来是一句承诺,一段尚未来到的时光,因为我们拥有的只是现在。当明天到来,它也即将不再是明天,而变成你的今天。只有当你懂得如何珍视今天,你才能学会如何享受明天。如果你还有三十年的光阴,你将经历10950个今天。但每一个逝去却得不到你注意的日子都是生命的一天损失。每一个崭新的一天都意味着生命随之减少一天。
Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present". How you use this day is up to you. At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.
每天都是一次生活的选择。今天是一份礼物,这也正是为什么它被称作"礼物"(英文中,"现在"一词也有"礼物"的意思)。你将如何利用这一天是你的选择。每天,你都要作出选择:是拆开这份礼物,还是把它留在墙角,毁掉它。每天都是一次通往理想生活的抉择。
关于英语哲理小短文加翻译:思想的境界How you feel, how you react and how much stress you have in your life is in direct relation to how you think.
你的感觉、你对外界事物的反应以及你所能承受的压力直接影响到你的想法。
Some people let random circumstances predict their day and actually end up creating stress for themselves. For example, when they go to make coffee and find there is none left, they may start the day by thinking, "Oh, this isn?t going to be a good day." Then, for the rest of the day, they duanwenw.com allow minor inconveniences, unexplained challenges or other less ideal events to reinforce their negative thought. And they end up having a stressful day.
有些人很轻易地被周遭的事物影响自己一天的心情,结果只会徒生烦恼。例如,有些人冲咖啡时发现咖啡没有了,他们就会以"今天会是不幸的一天"这样的想法开始一天的生活。然后,在这一整天的时光里,他们放任小小的不便、莫名的质疑或者其它不太顺心的小插曲加重自己的消极思想。最后,他们一天都过得极其郁闷。
Look forward to your day and don?t let negative thoughts control it. Change how you interpret or react to life?s events. If you run out of coffee, change your thoughts to, "If this is the worst thing that could happen to me today, then the rest of my day will be great."
以积极的心态去期待每一天的生活,不要让消极的思想主宰你。换个角度去理解和对待生活中的各种意外事件。若咖啡没有了,你可以转念一想:"如果这就是今天能发生的最糟糕的事情,那么我的后半天肯定会过得无比美妙。"
If you continually have negative thoughts, then you are allowing only negative events to be your companion for the rest of the day. And, when something good does occur, you won?t even recognize it.
如果你一直受消极思想影响,那么你一整天看任何事都会是消极的。即使有好的事情发生,你也不会意识到。
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
你的幸福感取决于你的思想境界。

英文幽默哲理100词小短文(带翻译)
哲理散文即作家由眼前事物出发而感悟出的某种人生真谛或生活道理,下面就是我给大家整理的,希望大家喜欢。
一:You are special
A well-know speaker started on his seminar研讨会 by holding up a $20 bill in the room of 200.
He asked,who would like this $20 bill. Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple弄皱 the $20 note up.
He then asked, "who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground, and started to ground into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now, crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson no matter what I did to the money, you still want it. Because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, and circumstances that e away. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finally creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worst of your lives es not in what we do, or who we know, but by who we are. You are special. Don't ever forget it.
二:To the station
We're traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of *** oke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of鳞次栉比 corn ad wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will e true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a pleted jigsaw puzzle七巧板. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering -- waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put our last kid through college." "When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion."
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will e soon enough.
三:Love your mother
Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!
Your mother will be there for you, to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her 'blues' of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?"
Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.
Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her.
以上就是我为你整理的,希望对你有帮助!
1Tom and His Mother
"Mother," said little Tom, "did you tell father I wanted a
new bicycle.'?"
"Yes, dear," said his mother. "I told him, but he said he
couldn't afford to buy you one."
"Of course he would say that. But what did you do?"
I told him how badly you wanted it and argued in favor of it,
but he refused.
"Argued? Ah, mother, if it had been something you wanted

He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an ad in a newspaper "Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Reasonable prices ."
" This sounds like a good idea." he thought, " I' 11 spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.
Four days later he returned home.
"What' s wrong with Willow Farm" his friend asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life"
"Country life was fine," Alan said." But there was another problem.
"Oh, what?"
Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast lamb for dinner.
Fresh meat is the best."I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner. "
"Lucky you!"
"You don't understand," Alan said." On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
" A different roast every day." Jack exclaimed.
"Let me finish," Alan said." On the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"

以前休假,他经常去海边。但有一年,他看到报纸上有一则广告:“领略乡村生活。在唯利屋农场度假数周,可享受:美味佳肴、新鲜空气、骑马、散步、垂钓。价格合理。”
“这到是个好主意,”他想,“我要在唯利屋过上一个月,去享受骑马的乐趣,还要去散步、钓鱼。这肯定与坐在海边不同。”
四天后,他回来了。
“唯利屋发生什么事了?”他的朋友问他,“你不喜欢那里的乡村生活吗?”
“乡村生活是很好,”亚伦说,“但是有一个问题。”
“什么?”
“第一天,一只羊死了。我们的饭是烤羊肉。”
“新鲜肉最好。”
“我知道,但是第二天,一只牛死了。于是我们吃的是烤牛肉。”
“你真是幸运。”
“你不知道,”亚伦说,“第三天,一头猪死了。我们就吃烤猪肉。”
“每天吃不同的烧烤。”
“让我说完,”亚伦说,“第四天,农场主死了。我不敢呆在那里吃饭了。”
